The only thing I don't like about Showdown is when I clear my cache for... reasons.

Clearing things will erase teams... :(

Expected this.
Perhaps I should return to Showdown...  Time to import my Mono teams...

meh mono teams. the teams I prefer are the ones that annoy your opponent to death  ;D

Yeah, that's why I had switched to PO.

And my goals are to make Monos that annoy to death.  Like my MonoGround.

What are you going to do when they have ice punch/giga drain/hydro pump, common movesets on common pokemon in every tier?

Kyogre in Ubers
Politoed + Keldeo in OU
don't know about UU and RU, but I'm sure there are good water type sweepers and/or grass type annoyers with coverage
Jynx Alomomola in NU

If I were to mono-type a team, ground wouldn't be my first choice

Most of the standard water stuff is killed by my use of Storm Drain Gastrodon.  Most everything else I can wall.  Grass with Gliscor and Ice with Quagsire.  And Giga isn't really that common in OU.  I see more use of Petal Dance and Leaf Storm, especially on Contrary Serperior.

In UU and below, it's really just bulky waters, things I can take care of with Quagsire as I set up with Curse.

Although my best Mono is probably Dark [Prankster Murkrow and Sableye] or Normal.  Walls.  Walls everywhere.

Someone pissed off a mod once by using energy ball Jellicent LOL. that would definitely kill gastrodon. Grass on Quagsire and Ice on Gliscor. By the way, contrary serperior is banned even from Ubers, so... yea not going to use that.

I hate walls they foil my sweepers every time. Well, they ARE walls I suppose.

Huh, well, the rooms I've played in, even in PS, didn't ban Contrary Serp.  Anyways, sure there are counters, but there are also switches.  And my Quagsire can actually take most [?] non-STAB grass moves.  And if STAB, i'd just switch out to get a free switch to my Flygon and FPunch.  Or UTurn.  Or something.

Well, mine can at least. With 252 HP and a certain EV mix for Def/SDef, it can take a hit, although that leaves little room to set up [still possible].  And with Curse setting up, it doesn't have to worry about Leaf Blade/ Seed Bomb/ Bullet Seed.

I still think a glaring x4 weakness can be mitigated by x1.5 defense, even if you spread your EVs to HP and defense
